KOTA KINABALU: Foreign fishermen in Sabah waters have been resorting to large scale fish bombing to haul in their ill gotten catches. These foreign fisherman come in a large mother ship, with smaller boats in tow to carry out fish bombing operations and process them into products. It is learnt that such groups had targeted waters off Kudat for their fish bombing activities. Speaking on the current level fish bombing activities in Sabah, Pang stressed the situation was quite rampant, adding most of the activities were done by small scale individuals. "The Minister is very concerned about it because he sees locals can participate more in tourism compared to what they are currently doing (fish bombing),” he said.
